Discover Bright: The Ultimate Autumn Photography Adventure
🍂 Bright, Victoria, is nothing short of magical in Autumn. With its stunning alpine roads adorned by the brilliant hues of Fall foliage, this charming country town in the heart of the Alpine Region is a photographer's dream come true. I’m beyond excited to host our Bright Autumn Photo-Workshop, and I can’t wait to show you why this town and its surroundings are some of the most breathtaking places to photograph in all of Victoria.
Why Bright?
Having spent my childhood in this very town, Bright holds a special place in my heart. From its vineyards to its quaint streets and the vast, colorful alpine landscape, I know Bright like the back of my hand. I’ll be guiding you to hidden gems and lesser-known spots that most people never see, giving you the chance to capture scenes few others get the chance to photograph.
This town, with its rich Autumnal color palette, will leave you in awe. From the glowing yellows and reds of the foliage to the picturesque mountain backdrops, there is no shortage of incredible photographic opportunities.

We’ll be staying for 4 nights in luxurious accommodations right in the heart of Bright, allowing us to truly immerse ourselves in this vibrant, picturesque area. Throughout the workshop, we’ll explore some of the best locations for landscape photography that this stunning region has to offer:

As your guide, I’m here to ensure that this workshop goes beyond just capturing stunning images. With my intimate knowledge of the area, I’ll show you how to photograph this incredible landscape like a pro.
